Londonderry Eco-Industrial Park

Organization(s)

Sustainable Design & Development, LLC (New Hampshire)

Project Description

In December 1998, the Londonderry Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) made the transition from a philosophical exercise into a real world development with the sale of the property to Sustainable Design and Development (SDD), L.L.C. SDD is made up of TFMoran, an engineering and architectural firm, and Andover Consulting Group, Inc., an office park developer.

SDD has actively marketed the Londonderry EIP over 1998 and has attracted several prospective tenants one of which, Gulf Medical Supply, has already been accepted as the first associate tenant of the park. Another prospective tenant, AES has received state site approval to construct a 725 megawatt power generation plant. Although they are faced with some "not in my back yard" opposition, they expected to begin construction as the EIP's "anchor" by the summer of 2000. Since one of the functions of an eco-industrial park is to share wastes as raw materials, AES's waste products, steam, hot water and cheap energy, make them an attractive facility with which other tenants could work.

SDD is seeking environmentally conscious manufacturers who would like to operate within the Eco-Industrial Park.
